Intended Use
Where the U500 CanopyPro Fits Best

The U500 CanopyPro is suited for utility equipment pads, small vehicle or cart parking, pump or skid-mounted systems, generator pads, and similar areas where overhead weather protection is needed without full enclosure.

It’s commonly used on water plants, industrial sites, treatment facilities, solar farms, and contractor yards where a compact, engineered canopy is preferred over a full building.
